View Full Version : Biology Teachers
What is it with them? All my physics and chemistry teachers are professional and know what they are doing.
My biology teacher today made me spend an hour cutting out and sticking down cardboard bits of DNA. Why? I have a bloody huge AS-Level syllabus and instead of learning stuff, I am doing stuff from before I was doing GCSEs.
And then I thought it was just my school having useless teachers (all the women biologists have gone off on maternity leave...). But it seems it happens at other schools too.
Gah!
:furious3:
Indeed, my female bio teacher is far more interested in style over substance... what do i have for homework every week? a poster... how demeaning, all style no substance which means a i get a c every week :crieslikeababy: instead of an A in the other 2 sciences, pre GCSE level BTW

My bio teacher was the worst I had in high school. Coloring in diagrams of cells, growing a plant in a pot and measuring it each day...she even told us that evolution was "Just a theory".

Ah, biology. The science for those who can't do math. My bio teacher actually was more or less competent, at least at bio. She for some reason takes other classes at my school. Last year she took Chem I(H) and failed the class :laugh4:. Oh, and while evolution is 'just' a theory, if my memory serves me well then 'just' is not at all appropriate.

First year uni.... all the science students in one massive hall. They leave alphabetically according to core units.
Biology... highest ratio of females.
Chemistry... second highest.
Pharmacy... over 50% female... and pretty good looking too. Did my core Chemistry unit with a Pharmacy unit... Chemistry was my elective orginally.
Physics... 10% female at most. Like Physics orginally as it deals with the smallest to the largest things in the universe and deals with day to day life and the less obvious wonders.
Anyhow as for Maths strength... most science students are better then average uni students... but Bio students tend to be the weakest and Physics students are on par with Maths students they just have a different core interest.
Most senior teachers are either Physics or Chemistry... the Biology teachers just are not at the same level... study of DNA is microchemistry and as such you probably in Australia can get into most Uni courses by just studying Physics and Chemistry without having to do bridging units to do Biology courses.

"Your Physics teacher is an idiot" English Assassin.
My biology teacher at school was excellent, made me want to go on and read biochemistry (more than 50% female on my course BTW, no bad thing), and anyone who doesn't get excited at what we can do and find out in molecular biology has no imagination. Biology is undergoing the sort of explosive advance NOW that physics had in the first half of C20, or computer science in the second half.
Life sciences, I've said it before and I'll say it again, its the ONLY place to be. The trouble with school is any idiot who can grow a pot plant thinks they can be a biology teacher, its like me teaching A level physics because I once wired a plug.

Yes that is poetic justice... although really there is a lot of overlap in the two disciplines... like trying to divide throwing and locking in a judo match...

Now that reminded my kinda sassy bio teacher on the last year of hishschool.:pimp2::hair2::gorgeous::cool3:

My physics/chem teacher keeps saying that all the time, whenever we moan about biology...
Heh. He's the one who is currently trying to persuade the school to let him take a 'science' trip to Disneyland Florida lol. The craziness.

My Biology teacher Mr Prestwich was fantastic. Funny, witty and a great lecturer. I got an A for my GCSE's thanks to him!
My Physics teacher however....what a sweaty bugger. ~:eek:

Geez, what I am happy I don't have to have anything to do with teachers anymore. I wouldn't even date one....... ~:)

... what do i have for homework every week? a poster...
If English Assassin is working in a Biology job at the moment he will verify that "Posters" are a big part of getting information across in Biology Conferences... My g/f got 2 all expenses paid trips to Australia (from the UK), 1 trip to the States and several trips to Europe to demonstrate her work at Conferences, and they all involved showing stuff on posters.
And yes... I did an IT course where it was 95% male, ...
Biology... highest ratio of females.
whilst she did Biology where it was 90% Female. Funny that about 10 of my mates dated Biology students.

Isn't that because they are a bit easier on the first date.... ~;)
Geez your teachers suck ~;) I had a great biology teacher when he wasn't throwing stuff around. He had his own theory's on why witches ride brooms, and sometimes we just had an hour of hilarity making naughty rhymes with the names of other pupils/teachers/whoever. Once in a while he just snapped tho, and that is when you had to take cover because he grabbed anything within reach.
Edit: anyone noticed that female labstudents are always hot?
i preffered what my math c, physics teacher said.
chemistry is just low voltage physics.
thanks,

Well, they've gotta have some inside knowledge on the best buttons to push on the human body haven't they?

Hmmm.... That would explain why my last biology date was keeping on trying to squeeze her thumb up my ass. She was looking for a button.... ~;)

That is where the Male G-Spot is... allegedly, not like I have any personal experience or anything, honest guv.
